ABOUT ME

Hachi ✨ 20 ✨ She/Her ✨ 🇵🇭 ✨ INFJ 6w5

Hello, I’m Hachi! I'm a full-time freelance illustrator on Fiverr, and I hopefully plan to branch out in other artistic areas in my life! Expect me to dump all of my artistic interests over here : #hachichiart

I also have a children’s picture e-book that I self-published on Amazon. I made it as a requirement for my high school thesis, so while the art there is definitely a representation of my past, I still stand by the message I was trying to send. I hope to eventually branch out this series in a form of a webcomic of sorts, for people who can’t afford to purchase my e-book for financial reasons. These characters are extremely dear to me, and I can’t wait to expound on them when I have the time lmao. Here’s a tag regarding the series: #behindtheartistichand

Some note-worthy things to mention, this blog is generally 15+, but I do make sure to tag any NSFW content and general triggers out there. I often post and retweet adult animation, so I’d say tread carefully if you’re a minor. I’m also critical with the media I consume, but most of the time, I like to talk about why I like something rather than why I hate it. I just find it more fun to expound on the positives of my favorite things. I also don’t take everything seriously.

Please let me know privately if I did or say anything wrong. Sometimes I say things without meaning to, and I’m not the brightest crayon in the box, so constructive criticism is greatly appreciated. If you take offense with anything I posted, just send a polite DM and explain why it offended you so I can be educated regarding the subject. I’m also available for any questions, DMs and a genuine chit-chat.

Fandom asks A, J, L, M, N, O, Q, W, X

A - Your current OTP - “current”, eh. Well, judging from all my rebloggs that would be Entrapdak (Entrapta/Hordak), from She-Ra and the Princesses of Power. But it’s actually my male OC/Keldor (Skeletor before he was Skeletor). I just don’t post about it because I have zero content to share (they only live in my head), and I am a veteran of fan fiction circa the early 2000s when shipping an OC with a canon character was a mortal sin, and so I don’t talk a lot about my OC/canon ships unless asked directly. 

J - Name a fandom you didn’t care/think about until you saw it all over tumblr - There are lots of fandoms on Tumblr that I know a lot about without ever having seen/read the original source material. I don’t really get into them because the original source materials don’t really interest me all that much. However, I am peripherally into the Percy Jackson franchise. I enjoy mythology (all mythology, not just Greek), and I enjoy reading people’s hot takes on Percy Jackson’s portraying of Greek figures. 

L - Your favorite fanartist/author gives you one request, what do you ask for - Actually, this happened recently. An artist over GaiaOnline offered me an art freebie. This is what I asked for:

M - Your favorite fanart or fanartist - Okay, so I’m a bit of an art-slut, so I have a lot of favorites... @nozominoyami is a dear friend and I know them IRL. They are really good at furry art and are super comfortable with both gore and sex. They have done a lot of NSFW art for me, and also some bloody illustrations for my fan fics. (Also, their commissions are open and you should totally commission them!) @coconfetti is another dear artist. They have done a lot of Ben 10 art for me, and are comfortable drawing aliens and non-human characters. I am an especially big fan of their half-tone shadings as it reminds me of manga from the 90s and early 2000s which was the peak of my otaku-phase. (They also take commissions and you should commission them!) @niuniente does some of the most ADORABLE Entrapdak art and I absolutely love them for it. They were also really cool about drawing a full comic strip illustrating a scene from one of my fan fics. But the thing I love most about them is when they post art sharing some of their local folk lore. I have actually learned a lot from them and cannot thank them enough for sharing their culture with us here on Tumblr. @strawberryoverlordart is probably one of the most talented artists I follow, and their work is amazing. They’re also super-patient and put up with me as I -very badly- explained what I wanted for a cover for one of my fan fics. I was not easy to deal with but they were super professional and made sense of my insane explanations. 

N - Your favorite fanfiction or fanauthor - My favorite fan fic author remains to this day, to be Kizmet from FanFiction.Net. They have an AO3, but are now only posting for a fandom I’m uninterested in. But if you ever take a look at their works, you should read ALL of their Dragon Ball/Dragon Ball Z fan fics. They are the absolute best. Top quality work! Best experience. 10/10. However, my favorite fan fiction is not by Kizmet. It’s the “Son of Son’s” trilogy. A Star Wars fan fiction by Black101 (also on FanFiction.Net), “Into the Storm”, “In Shadows and Darkness”, and “At the Bring of Darkness and Dawn”. 

O - Choose a song at random, which OTP does it remind you of - 80s Remix of “I want it That Way” by the Backstreet Boys. ...Trusa (Trunks [Dragon Ball Z]/Chibiusa [Sailor Moon])

Q - A ship you’ve abandoned and why - Okay, okay, okay, I y’all to understand! I used to ship Supermartian (Superboy/Miss Martian) from Young Justice. Back in season 1 when they were all cute, and domestic, and sweet. And then when the Team finds out she’s half-white martian and she thinks everyone’s gonna reject her, and then Conner says he’s always known and doesn’t care... I was already shipping them, but that moment just made me melt and I was all like “this is True Love!” “This is Pure!” “This is the best ship!” ... .. .Then... season 2 happened. Suddenly they were broken up and I have no idea what happened. I was shocked, and confused, and angry. ... .. .Then it got worse. Then I learned that M’gann used her telepathy to try and control Conner’s mind! If you don’t watch Young Justice, I need you to understand something about Conner’s backstory: In the pilot episode, when we first meet him, Conner is under mind-control. He has no mind or will of his own, or even any autonomy, mind of body. He is literally a doll being controlled! The Team free him from that and he joins the heroes, but because of that experience (BECAUSE OF THAT TRAUMA!) he is very sensitive when it comes to the subject of telepathy and mental manipulation. M’gann trying to control his mind is bad enough on it’s own. By itself that it an abusive behavior. But when you add in his history with mental abuse it becomes so, so, so very much worse! M’gann trying to control Conner’s mind is analogues to assaulting someone who was a survivor of past abuse! After that, I just could not ship Supermartian and even seeing them on screen together gives me anxiety. In season 3 when they are engaged to get married, I have a literal panic attack and quit the series. I literally stopped watching Young Justice. I never finished season 3. 

W - 5 favorite characters from 5 different fandoms - 

Trunks Briefs - Dragon Ball franchise

Kevin Levin - Ben 10 franchise

Kon-El | Conner Kent | Superboy - DC Comics

Hordak - She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

Goliath - Disney’s Gargoyles 

X - 3 OTPs from 3 different fandoms - 

Tim/Kon - DC Comics

Gwevin - Ben 10 franchise

Entrapdak - She-Ra and the Princesses of Power

[thelastspeecher]

it’s fanfic rec days, and as a fic writer, I feel obligated to rec some things.  I haven’t read non-Gravity Falls fics since high school, so these are all GF fics.  I don’t want anyone to know what I was reading in high school (I’ll give you a hint though - one of my faves was an American Dragon: Jake Long and Harry Potter crossover).  

I’m too lazy to explain everything about why I enjoy these fics, so here’s a blanket statement for all my recs and why I enjoy them: well-written, good characterization and character interactions, engaging storylines, good technical writing skills (I have issues reading things with poor grammar and spelling sometimes), the kind of thing that you want to reread (sort of like how no matter how many times I watch NWHS, I get nervous over whether things will work out).  but anyways, enough with the rambling, onto the the recs. 

Things that have been bolded have trigger warnings for the content; the fics’ full list of trigger warnings (which, for some, can get pretty long) are available in the fic descriptions if you follow the links. 

“The Wind in Visions” by the_mystery_twins - everybody recs this one and normally I wouldn’t (just bc everybody DOES), but it’s amazing and has such wholesome shipping and dealing with mental illnesses and I just.  Really like it.

“A Thousand Natural Shocks” by @dubsdeedubs - this was another fic that got me back into reading fics.  I stumbled across it on Tumblr mobile somehow one night and read almost the entire thing in one go.  It’s from the Neverhuman AU where Stan isn’t human, and things happen and just- read it.  It’s good.

“Unfinished Business” and “Fear of the Dark” by thesnadger - I got into a real Stangst kick a while back, and I remember telling Holly “oh my gosh you need to read this fic where Stan tries to commit suicide” and they were like “I would prefer Not To”.  “Unfinished Business” is the ghost!Stan AU (which is what it says on the tin), and “Fear of the Dark” is the aforementioned suicide attempt fic.  But these are A-grade, perfect Stangst fics and I cannot get enough of them. 

“Shots” by LogicalBookThief - another good Stangst thing.  I clearly enjoy reading fics where Stan is physically harmed (which is definitely not something my readers should be concerned about...), especially if it results in brother bonding and hugging it out and whatnot.  But anyways, this is a fic based off the idea that Stan gets injured during the escape from government custody in NWHS

“Finding ‘X’ (Or ‘Y’ Or ‘Z’)” by @astriiformes - another one that I stumbled across a while back.  Fiddleford is Ford’s RA, and being Ford, Ford gets hurt and Fiddleford has to help him out.  Some good Fiddleford/Ford interactions

These blurbs, also by @astriiformes (figured I’d include these while I’m at it) - boy HOWDY am I a sucker for the de-aging trope, and this particular de-aging scenario (the Stans get turned 10) is really well done.  One of my comfort ficlets and easily one of my favorites. 

“Ford, Meet Ford” by @haberdashing - holy shit the title is a freakin pun.  Gotta love that.  It’s a Gravity Falls and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy crossover.  A match made in heaven, tbh.

The One Sword AU by @icefeels - this is one I’ve been reading bits and pieces of on my phone.  It’s an OC-centric fic involving Ford’s years in the portal and whatnot.  Despite what you may think, I’ve still got a pretty bad case of OC aversion (fandom can do that to a person), which is why I’ve been reading it on the sly.  But I’m really digging the OC protag.  Not to mention that even though it has crossovers with things that I am very much not familiar with, I can still follow the plot well, which requires a certain level of skill.   Some good stuff.

now, I’m sure the moment I post this, I’ll think of other fics that I love and can’t live without.  but a post for them will go up tomorrow.  

I encourage everyone to read these.  some good shit.  they’ve all got the Speecher Seal of Approval.
